Your POV

Dipper and I love this show called Ghost Harassers for a long time. And today, we were super excited because...

Announcer: *tv* You asked for it, you got it!!! An entire forty-eight hours of Ghost Harassers on the used to be about history channel!!!

Dipper: Be strong, bladder. We're not gonna move 'till sunset.

You: Dude, I've been waiting for this since forever!!!

Dipper: It's gonna be awesome!!!

Toby: *tv* We interrupt this program to bring you breaking news!!!

Dipper: Aw, what?

Mabel: *runs in and sits next to you* It's starting!!!

Candy: *runs in and sits next to Dipper* Turn it up!!!

Grenda: *runs in* Make room for Grenda!!! *sits in front of you all*

Toby: Well, tonight's the night but I've been out here for days!!! The Northwest family's annual high society shindig-ball-soiree is here!!! And even though common folk aren't let in, they won't stop us from camping out for a peek at the fanciness!!!

Mabel, Candy, and Grenda: *who are now laying on the floor* Oooooooh!!!!

You: Ok, can someone please explain why people care about this?!?

Grenda: Um, it's pretty much the best party ever!!! Rich food, richer boys!!!

Mabel: They say each gift basket has a live quail inside!!!

Candy: *petting the tv screen* Give me your life, Pacifica!

Dipper: Guys, incase you've already forgotten, Pacifica Northwest is the worst.

You: Agreed.

???: *knocks on door*

Dipper: *goes to the door* And that's not just jealousy talking, I would say that to her face! *opens the door revealing a covered up Pacifica*

Pacifica: I need your help.

Dipper: You're the worst. *closes the door*

Mabel, Candy, and Grenda: *gasp*

You: *snicker as you hold a laugh*

Dipper: See?

Pacifica: *knocks on the door roughly*

Dipper: *annoyedly opens the door*

Pacifica: Look, you think it's easy for me to come here?!? I don't wanna be seen in this hobble!!! But there's something haunting Northwest Manor!!! If you don't help me the party could be ruined!!!

Dipper: And why should I help you?!? All you've ever done is humiliate us!!!

Pacifica: Just name your price, ok?!? I'll give you anything!!!

Mabel: *runs over to Dipper* Hi, Pacifica!!! Excuse us!!! *pulls you and Dipper inside* Dipper, don't you see what this means?!? If you help Pacifica you get us invites to the greatest party of all time!!!

Dipper: What?!? Mabel, this is Pacifica we're talking about!!!

Mabel: But it's Candy and Grenda's dream!!!

Candy and Grenda: *dreamlike* Dream....!!!!!

Dipper: *goes back to Pacifica as he sighs* Fine, we'll bust your ghost. But in exchange, I'll need three tickets to the party!

Pacifica: Wait, what do you mean we?!?

Dipper: (y/n)'s my partner in ghost fighting, she's coming too.

You: Excuse me?!?

Pacifica: What?!?

You: *go next to Dipper* Since when am I going too?!?

Dipper: Please, (y/n)? *whispers to you* I don't think I can be alone with Pacifica without loosing my patience!

You: But- but- but-!

Dipper: *puppy eyes* Pleeeeeeeaaaaaase...?!?

You: *blush* (STOP BEING CUTE!!!) ... fine, I'll go...

Dipper: Then it's settled, we'll beat your ghost if you give us the tickets.

Pacifica: *as she takes out tickets out of her purse* You're just lucky I'm desperate.

Mabel, Candy, and Grenda: Woooo!!!!Desperate!!! Desperate!!! Desperate!!!

Mabel: Grenda, get the glue gun!!! We're making dresses!!!

Pacifica: *leaves*

And so after a few hours we go to the Northwest Manor. Mabel, Candy, and Grenda were all dressed up, but Dipper and I just went with our usual clothes. We go inside. The place was just like I remembered.

Pacifica: Welcome to Northwest Manor, dorks. Try not to touch anything.

Mabel, Candy, and Grenda: *stare at everything amazed*

Mabel: Everything's so fancy!!! Fancy floors, fancy plant, *gasps, then goes over to a butler and touches his face* fancy man!!!

Butler: Yes, very good, miss. *leaves*

Candy: *holding a bag as a bird flies out* The rumors are true!!!

Mabel, Candy, and Grenda: *run off*

Preston and Pricilla: *walk over to you, Dipper, and Pacifica*

Preston: Ah, if it isn't the man of the hour! Hopefully you can help us with our little... situation before the guests arrive in an hour?

Dipper: We'll do our best.

Preston: Very well. Pacifica, take our guests to the problem room, and uh- *whispers to Pacifica* they're not wearing that, are they?

Pacifica: I'm on it.

She took us to another room, gave me a dress, and Dipper a tux. We both wet into some dressing rooms and began getting changed. When done...

Dipper: *walks out* Ugh, it's like this collar is strangling me!!!

You: *walk out* I... Cannot... Breath...!!!

Pacifica: Get used to it.

You: YOU LITTLE-

Dipper: *places a hand on your shoulder, making you stop*

You: *growl*

I kEeP fOrGeTiNg My DrAwInG sUpPlIeS wHeN i NeEd ThEm

Whatever, take the one from the Phoenix, I don't care anymore.

Dipper: Who do you think you're impressing with this stuff?!?

Pacifica: Um, everyone? You wouldn't understand! High standards are what make the Northwest great.

Dipper: Funny, I thought it was about founding the town.

You: Or using their wealth to buy their way through anything.

You and Dipper: *laugh quietly*

We follow Pacifica into a room. It had many animal heads, a lumberjack painting, a bear rug, a table, and a fireplace. God, it was terrifying.

Pacifica: This is the main room, where it's been happening.

Dipper: Yeah, this looks like the kind of room that would be haunted, alright! I wouldn't be worried though. Ghost fall on a ten category scale. Floating plates sounds like a category one.

Pacifica: So what, are you gonna bore him back into the afterlife by reading from this book?

You: Nah, if we're lucky maybe he'll see all that makeup your wearing and think you're a killer clown!!!

Pacifica: Hey!!!

Dipper: *holding in a laugh*

You: *laugh*

Dipper: I just gotta splash this sucker with some anointed water and he should be out of your probably fake blonde hair.

Pacifica: What was that about my hair?!?

You: Nice.

You and Dipper: *fist bump*

Dipper: *takes out his ghost searching machine with beeps* Shh, I'm picking something on!

Dipper goes near the fireplace. He looks up at the lumberjack painting, then back at his machine which turns off. He hits it a bit causing it to turn back on then looks at the painting where- the lumberjack wasn't there anymore...!

Behind me I hear a scream, and I turn around to see Pacifica walking away from a puddle of blood. I look up, blood started to drip from all the animal heads' mouths. Pacifica and I back away eventually being near the fire which got a lot stronger.

The animal heads all start to chant Ancient Sins, why did I ever agree to come here?!?!?!?!? Objects started to surrounded us.

Pacifica: Dipper, what is this?!?

Dipper: It's a category ten...! *notices the bottle of water bursts*

You, Dipper, and Pacifica: AHHHH!!!!

Animal Heads: ANCIENT BLOOD AND DARKENED SKIES, THE FOREST DARK SHALL ONCE MORE RISE!!!

Pacifica: What do we do, what do we do?!?

Dipper: Don't worry, it can't get worse than this!!!

From the flames came a skeleton on fire with an axe in its skull. It slowly made its skin.

You: IT CAN ALWAYS GET WORSE!!!

You, Dipper, and Pacifica: AHHHH!!! *hide under the table*

Ghost: I smell... *as his blue fire beard grows* a NORTHWEST!!! *makes an axe appear and drags it across breaking the floor* Come out come out wherever you are!!!

Pacifica: Hurry, read through your dumb book already!!!

Dipper: *whispers as he reads* I'm looking, and it's not dumb, ok?!?

You: *whisper* Now is so not the time to argue!!!

Dipper: *whispers* Alright, here we go, advice. *turns on the black light which reveals the words Pray For Mercy!*

You: *whisper* Wha- seriously?!?

You, Dipper, and Pacifica: *notice the table move revealing you all to the ghost* AHHHH!!!

Ghost: You shouldn't have come here!!! *tries to hit you all with the axe but you run away*

Pacifica: This way, hurry!!!

We run through many halls, then to the outdoor garden which apparently had peacocks now. We went indoors and continued running.

Dipper: I got it!!! Haunted paintings can only be contained in a silver mirror!!! 

You: Look, there's a silver mirror right there!!!

You and Dipper: *about to enter the room*

Pacifica: *grabs your and Dipper's arm stopping you two before entering* Wait!!! You can't go in there!!!

You: Pacifica, what are you doing?!?

Pacifica: This room has my parents' favorite carpet pattern!!! They'll loose it if we track mud in there!!!

Dipper: What?!? Are you serious?!?

Pacifica: *goes in front of you and Dipper blocking your path* We'll find another way!!!

Ghost: *from far away* Come out!!!

Dipper: Pacifica, we don't have time for this!!!

You: Let us through!!!

Pacifica grabbed Dipper's journal knowing he wouldn't go anywhere without it. We both try to take it back, but I've known for years that she has a very strong grip. While fighting for the book we fall through a painting and into an unfamiliar dark and dusty room.

You: *cough a bit*

Dipper: *groans*

Pacifica: *lifts her hair out of her face*

You: What is this place...?

Pacifica: That's weird, I don't even know what this room is.

Dipper: Hopefully the ghost doesn't either.

Pacifica: Yeah, maybe we're safe!

You: *notice the ghost coming through the blanket* LOOK OUT!!!

Pacifica: *turns and notices the ghost* AHHHH!!!

You: *push Pacifica out of the way making you both fall to the other side*

Ghost: Your fate is sealed!!!!

You and Pacifica: *as you hug each other tightly* AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Ghost: Prepare to die, Northwest!!!

Dipper: *stands in front of both of you with the silver mirror*

It was a bit of a blur what happened. Next thing we knew we were shot off the window and into the garden. We were all unharmed, thankfully.

You: So did you get him?

Dipper: *looks at the mirror in has hand*

Ghost: *inside the mirror* No, free me!!!

You, Dipper, and Pacifica: Yes!!!

Pacifica: We did it!!!

You: Another victory!!!

Preston, Priscila, and a butler go outside to meet us.

Butler: *shaking Dipper's hand*

Preston: Well, Pacifica, you really found the right people for the job.

Priscilla: We can't thank you enough. ... That's enough.

Butler: *stops shaking Dipper's hand*

You: Well, we should be going.

Pacifica: Wait, leaving already? You're at the world's best party, dummies.

Dipper: Well, we'd love to stay but we've got a category ten ghost to dispose of.

You: Plus my feet are killing me from running in heels. Which reminds we, you probably want your dress back.

Pacifica: Keep it, it looks better on you than it ever did on me.

You: *smile* Thanks.

You and Dipper: *start to exit the manor*

Dipper: Call me crazy, but maybe she's not that bad after all.

You: Yeah, maybe.

Ghost: *laughs maniacally*

Dipper: What are you laughing at, man? We defeated you!

Ghost: You've been had, kids. You remind me of me a hundred and fifty years ago.

You: What are you talking about...?

Ghost: One hundred and fifty years ago this day the Northwest asked us lumber folk to build them a mansion atop the hill. We were told it would be a service to the town, that once a year they would throw a grand party and all would share in the bounty!!! It took years of backbreaking labor and sacrifices, but when it was time for the grand party they promised the common folk of the town they refused to let us in. With the trees gone, the mudslides began. While they partied and laughed, I was swept away by the storm! And so I said with final breath: One fifty years I return from death! And if the gate still closed to town, well thief blood will stain the ground! A curse passed down until this day.

Dipper: So wait, the Northwests' knew this haunting was coming?!?

You: And they tricked us into helping them to avoid ghostly justice?!?

We look at each other in disbelief before running back to the main room, bursting through the door*

Dipper: NORTHWEST!!!!!

You: You got some explaining to do!!!

Pacifica: *runs in* Guys, you came back!!! *notices the tears that started falling down your face as you glare daggers at her* !!!

Dipper: You lied to us!!! All of you did!!! All you had to do was let the townsfolk into the party and you could've broken the curse!!!

You: But you made us do your dirty work instead!!!

Preston: *walks closer to you and Dipper* Look at who you're talking to, kids. I'm hosting a party for the most powerful people in the world. Do you think they'd come here to rub elbows with your kind?

You: Our kind?!?!? *look at Pacifica* We were right all along about you, Pacifica.

Dipper: You're just another link in the world's worst chain.

Pacifica: I'm sorry, they made me!!! I should've told you but-!!!

Preston: *rings a bell which makes Pacifica stop talking and look down* Enjoy the party, it's the last time you and your kind will ever come.

We walked out, anger filling every inch of our bodies. We were in the front garden, now ready to eliminate the ghost.

Dipper: "Exodus demonus, spookus scarus, aintafraidus noghostus-"

Ghost: Children, please let me get my vengeance on the Northwest's!!! You both hate them as much as I!!!

You: As much as we want to, our friends are in there and you seemed a bit unstable.

Ghost: Very well, children. Then before you vanish my soul, may these tired lumber eyes gaze upon the trees one final time?

Dipper: *looks at you for confirmation*

You: *shrug*

Dipper: Uh, I guess. Go nuts, man. *points the mirror at a tree*

Ghost: *starts to laugh maniacally as it turns red causing Dipper to drop the mirror from the heat and break it, freeing the ghost, then he flies to the manor* Vengeance!!!

Dipper: Oh no, Mabel!!!!!!

You: *grab Dipper's wrist and start to run to the manor* C'mon, hurry!!!

We run back to the manor. The place was filled with people who were now wooden statues, and the once that were still ok were getting attacked my animals. One man tried crawling to me, but he turned into wood before he had the chance.

"Just one way to change your fate, a Northwest must open the party gates!!!" I heard the ghost say. I looked at Dipper who gave me a determined nod. We both knew what to do. We went to the secret from earlier. We found Pacifica sitting down turning a flashlight on and off over and over again.

Dipper: Pacifica, there you are!!!

You: The ghost is turning everyone to wood!!!

Dipper: And he just started rhyming for some reason!!! *pulling Pacifica's arm slightly* We need your help!!!

Pacifica: *pulls her arm away*

Dipper: Pacifica?

Pacifica: You wanna know why this room was locked up? *points her flashlight at some paintings* This is what I found in here. A painted record of every horrible thing that my family's ever done! Lying, cheating, *points the flashlight at herself* and then there's me. I lied to you because I'm too scared to talk to my stupid parents!!! *takes off her diamond earrings and throws it at the painting of her parents, then looks at you* You were right about me, I am just another link in the world's worst chain...

You: ... *sigh* Pacifica, we're sorry about what we said earlier, but there are people dying outside!!! You want to make things right?!? Then help us stop the ghost!!!

Pacifica: ... *nods with a smile*

Just then we heard the ghost yell "It's too late!!!" making us all run outside. Everyone was made a wooden statue, including Mabel, and the place looked like a forest.

Dipper grabbed something silver and ran close to the ghost. I tried to stop him, but when his mind was set on something, there was no turning back. Unfortunately, his plan didn't work...

I felt tears starting to form as I saw Dipper now turned into a wooden statue. I couldn't believe it...!!! I heard the ghost beginning to laugh, and I hid somewhere I thought was "safe".

I look around, it was midnight and everyone was wood. That's when I heard Pacifica's voice booming through the room. "Hey ugly!!!!! Over here!!!!! You want me to let in the townsfolk?!? Cuz I'll do it!!!!!! Just change everyone back!!!!!!" "You wish to proof yourself?!? Pull that lever and open the grand gate to the town!!! Fulfill your ancestors promise!!!"

Just then, Pacifica's parents peeked through a wooden opening on the ground. They argued for a bit when Preston started ringing a bell. She glared at her parents and yelled "Our family name is broken!!! And I'm gonna fix it!!!" She pulls the lever that opens the gates as the ghost lets out a gasp.

The ghost disappears. Everything and everyone starts turning back to normal as the people from outside run in. I hear Dipper who let out a gasp for air, his legs a bit wobbly. I had never been more happy to see him.

Dipper: Wha- what-

You: YOU'RE OK!!! *hug Dippertightly*

Dipper: WHOA-!!! *manages to keep his balance*

You: *bury your face on his shoulder as tears desperately run down your cheeks* I-... I-I th-thought I l-lost you...

Dipper: ... *smiles and hugs you back* Hey... it's ok... I'm here...

You: *sniffle*

Dipper: I'm ok...

You: Don't you ever do that again...

Dipper: ... *smiles softly* I'll try not to...

We stayed like this for a few more minutes. And honestly? I didn't want the moment to end.

He still wouldn't talk to me about what happened in the bunker, and I began to think it was some prank or something.

But he was still my best friend, and I can't lose him.

Thanks for reading!!! 'Till next time!!!
